Arab Spring
During the period immediately after the introduction of moveable type there was a great deal of violence, chaos in Europe. With the distribution of books, it was as if a jolt of adrenaline had shook the social order. There was the Peasant's Revolt, the Protestant Revolution etc. The same type of turmoil and violence has run through the middle east. After the introduction of the modern electronic revolution, information has been widely and instantaneously dispersed. Could Arab society be reshaping itself? Into what? It must be remembered that after Gutenberg Europe attained its greatest strength.

Harperville P.T.A.
Canada will now be sharing its embassies with Great Britain. Unfortunately Canadians will only be able to find their ambassador in the Men's Room. Third cubicle.
Rumours around Toronto are that the conservatives plan on renaming Ottawa, "Harperville". No one names their kid - Ottawa.
Finally, Mr. Harper believes that Mitt Romney would make a hell of a first baseman.

Jimmy Carter slagged... shame on you
March 28, 1979 the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history occurred. A
cooling system malfunction at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant
in Pennsylvania had the potential to kill thousands or perhaps millions
of people in northern Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and southern
Ontario.
People were in a panic. In an act of courage, President Carter with his wife arrived on sight to assure people that a solution would be found and to calm nerves. The place could have blown at any minute.
The problem. There were 2 solutions offered.
One solution was suggested by the President’s advisors in Washington. The second solution was suggested by those on sight. The President had to make a choice. If he chose wrong America would have had a Chernobyl on its hands. By good fortune, Mr. Carter was a former captain of a nuclear submarine. He knew something about nuclear energy. He chose the advise from the people on sight. Disaster was averted.
In this election we have the Republican party slagging Mr. Carter. He deserves more respect.
